Presenting your powerpint

1. Designing your PowerPoint
Presentation

2. Keep the pages simple
 Use them as prompts for your presentation

3. Don’t say one thing and write
another
 Try reading this. If you find yourself reading this and
struggling with what I am saying as well it is because
the brain is trying to register too much. Have you ever
tried reading a book ad having a conversation at the
same time- it can’t be done with full comprehension.

4. Say what you mean
 Write clearly and in short sentences
 Don’t write long paragraphs to read
 Reiterate and expand on your text verbally

5. Reference all work that is not
your own
 Use the Harvard referencing system when using work
that copied or paraphrased
(James.2010)

6. Use illustrations

7. Or any media file
(Herman. 2012)

8. You can even add special effects
 And a music track
 Just don’t make it too long!

9. Rehearse your presentation with
a friend – get it to time.
